Update 2: Capcom has informed IGN that a patch to combat Monster Hunter World’s pre-release issue with crashes has now been deployed. In the short time since the patch’s release, we’ve suffered no crashes, but we will update this story as we play more.
Update: IGN has received a response from Capcom saying it is “aware of the crash issue and a fix is already in the works.” Capcom wouldn’t provide an explanation for the cause of the problem, nor would they tell us when we can expect the fix, so we still don’t know if it will arrive before or after its August 9 launch.
Original Story: Last week I was initially impressed with Monster Hunter: World’s PC port. While it’s undoubtedly demanding, it generally runs nice and smooth. And even though that initial assessment has mostly held strong as I play more, a pretty serious crashing issue has started to rear its ugly head.
